My “Gone Wild” bracelets have suddenly GONE NUTS! I started making them earlier this spring, and while people would pick them up and comment on them, none had actually sold until two weeks ago at a private showing for How Cute is That!, a new boutique in Omaha.

Since that time, I can’t keep them on the table! Not only have I sold all my original Gone Wild bracelets, but I’ve had orders for more in all kinds of colors.

The bracelet is fun to make (easy to follow instructions on BeadingHelpWeb.com), all you need is a little imagination in chosing the beads you use. I like Czech Glass Assortments, with different sizes, shades and shapes that meld together into a finished product that is crazy, unique, and probably could be used as a weapon if need be, LOL.

Pictured is the “Amy’s Gone Wild” bracelet, made with amethyst chips. I’ve also made this bracelet using dyed red howlite, blue lace agate and malachite chips; Czech 3mm assorted crystals (Christmas Lights Gone Wild), and mixes of blue/brown/neutral, floral/garden themed glass beads, and red/green/violet glass beads.
